Application of the Caprini risk assessment model in evaluation of non-venous thromboembolism complications in plastic and reconstructive surgery patients.
BACKGROUND The Caprini Risk Assessment Model is used to categorize patient risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) events; its predictive associations have been repeatedly corroborated. Calculating scores involves consideration of systemic factors that may predict other postoperative complications. OBJECTIVE This study investigates whether Caprini scores can be applied to non-VTE complications....
متن کاملAbstract 85: An Examination Of Venous Thromboembolism Risk Using Caprini Scores Amongst Outpatient Aesthetic Surgery Patients Who Receive No Chemoprophylaxis
PURPOSE: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a potentially lethal event with an increased risk after surgical procedures. The Caprini Risk Assessment Model (RAM) is a validated and widely utilized tool for VTE risk stratification and prophylaxis. The risk of VTE varies by procedure and individual patient factors. Currently, our best tools are validated scoring systems that stratify patients into tr...
متن کاملPrevalence of venous thromboembolism in elective thoracic surgery.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after elective thoracic surgery in patients receiving antithrombotic prophylaxis, and to evaluate the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) after lung resection. PATIENTS AND METHOD A descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study was designed. A total of 6004 patients were included. All patients u...
متن کاملIdentifying cancer patients at risk for venous thromboembolism.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a known complication of cancer which impacts on patient mortality and quality of life. Despite the known deleterious effects of VTE, the benefits of thromboprophylaxis have not been fully established. Identification of patients at highest risk of VTE could lead to better targeting of thromboprophylaxis. Several risk factors have been identified as contributing to...
متن کاملPrimary prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing cardiac or thoracic surgery.
BACKGROUND Cardiac and thoracic surgery are associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The safety and efficacy of primary thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing these types of surgery is uncertain. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of primary thromboprophylaxis on the incidence of symptomatic VTE and major bleeding in patients undergoing cardiac or thoracic surgery. ...
